Yup I have seen some really nice grows under a single 50 watt cob

It's not cobs or anything. A simple Root Farm brand, Some Ho depots carry them. I would be moving them under HIDs once ready but mainlining several under the root farm if possible.

I've got a few plants in "plant warrior" pots. Can I just stick em in a tub with some perlite?
Does that count as a SIP?

Probably have to cover the soil with fabric or perlite to keep bugs away.

What do you think?

dawned on me that super-cropping would be less work and bent them all proper.

I stopped mainlining and went to super cropping also , if you have seen any of my grows lately I just lay that plant over about half way down , it's fun to bend it , when you do it right it feels like when you're drying a plant and your deciding if it's time to go into jars , when the plants bend with a kink but don't snap, to me it feels good like cracking a knuckle

I think trying to make these 12 plants fit in this space (which i admit might be a bad idea lol) I don't know that just bending them over would work. This will be my first time ever trying this.. and maybe the last I guess we will see lol. Also I think this helps have a lot less larf which I strive for also!

I am finishing day 3 without power, 2 1/2 weeks into flower , running the generator everyday for more than 12 hours, I managed to get 3 bbq size propane tanks filled today and around 8 gallons of gas, my generator runs on both, there is no estimate on when we will get power back , my sip is really taking care of my plants, and the cobs pulling 250 watts leaves plenty of juice to cook food and watch tv and powder the wifi, hope everyone is smoking a bowl tonight,

ha, yes I find the bend very satisfying now that I've got the hang of it. didn't break any branches at all.

i agree the mainline will be more rounded out than my bends. mine were topped once and bent out the same direction so could grow out like an espalier.

Hey all. Gonna build one of these sip things. A question about the net pot as the wick. Can it be used by itself or does it need a screen or filter for lack of better term. Also it just gets packed with plain peat or the same dirt as the plant will be in.
Also is the idea to keep the dirt out of the res?? So net pot and water tube need to be sealed??
thanks.

I just use the net pot and pack it very right with pete moss only. I know a lot of folks just use soil also.
